Faucet Fixture Shower

I am thinking of buying it for the kitchen – wondered if it’s practical or just a fad. I would love not to drip water all over the counter by using the touch feature, but you still have to adjust the water temp so it seems some water will spill over anyway. Have you tried it before & do you like it? Thanks!

Hello,

Check out this on you tube www.youtube.com/watch?v=bodPDqUTpf0. It explains how it works. Also I’ve been told by someone who has one, its great. You can set the water temp then touch it to turn off or on it will be at the same temp. Hope this helps some.

Do I need to get a shower valve socket wrench? Is it a pretty easy job? I’m tired of using pliers to turn my bathtub/shower faucets on and off…
Also, do I need to turn off the water to my house before I change the shower stems?

The valve stems usually need the wrench set. Around $15.00 at one of the box stores. Get a seat wrench while you are at it.
While you are doing the stems take the time to replace the seats also. This gives you a complete rebuild.
You can get a rebuild kit for most brands of faucet. These contain the stems, seats, diverter, handles and trim.

Yes you need to turn the water off.

This is a fairly straight forward repair. Make sure that you re-assemble the faucet in the same order that it came apart.

the bathroom vanity has a light bulb which blew out. never got around to replacing it. turned the light on the other day and sparks rained down from the empty socket. I could smell smoke and there are actually 2 burn marks on the light fixture. what happened? how deep is the damage? i’m worried about an electrical fire now. strange thing is, the circuit breaker never turned the power off to this current. what gives?
I have an electrician coming on Saturday (today is Thursday). I’m posting my ques in hopes that someone with electrical experience can tell me what might be wrong and if we’re in immediate danger. I told the electrician I needed someone to come ASAP.

Better leave that switch off. You can’t do anything else safely until the electrician gets there. He can identify the problem and recommend a fix. (Sounds like you will be replacing the socket).
If the socket was truly empty (not with a broken bulb base still in it) the replacement part isn’t expensive, it’s the time required to remove the old and install the new. The short probably happened too quick for the breaker to trip.
Good luck and don’t try it yourself, I got plenty of surprises in my 13 years as an electrician (including the funniest one of all – A fried mouse skeleton in a breaker panel with one paw on the breaker and the other on the ground bar).

I’ve replaced the cam & packing/ball assembly/seats & springs but faucet will still drip about one drop per minute or so. Any suggestions on what else it could be?
I have replaced spout o rings and it still drips but since the diverter assembly came with kit I replaced it and now it doesn’t leak, doesn’t make any sense?

Did the assembly come with "O" rings?.

I have a Moen shower faucet and it is starting to leak from in the handle out. I want to change the carterage or assembley. But when i went to take the handle off, the screw head was almost stripped. Is there any tool or any way to take the screw off so i can get the handle off.

try vise-grips

I’m an architecture student and wanted to know if I can get free templates for plumbing fixtures to use on my floor plans.

most model shops have them

I want to buy some plumbing fixtures from US. I will usem in Mongolia. I am worrying can I use them in Mongolia, because we use millitere to dimenstion of anything. However, US use inch system? What should I do? If it has difference how can I find any convertor of them?

Not a good idea!

The previous owners "remodeled" the bathroom to sell the house. Very badly. The vanity is one of those cheap white ones they sell at Home Depot or Lowes. Is it possible to paint those or will whatever it is that covers the particle board bubble or not hold paint?

if the particle board is failing, you will never get the finish to look reasonably sound. The front of the vanity should be solid wood. Skin the visible side, and finish coat, for best results.

seal popped out, not sure where it went
Delta Washerless my mistake

LOL never heard of a water less faucet ( must be star trek type )but if it’s washer-less than this might help after pulling your stem out you had a spring and rubber cup follow out behind it .the spring goes in first then the cup facing down. I use a pencil to alien them both down in that small hole that my fingers can’t fit into and push them off with a small screw driver .make sure their seated right or you can damage the cup, the cup gets a little scar it will drip water , you can find replacements at most hardware stores including Lowe’s and home depot .good luck!

Is there some kind of internal adjustment to prevent a good solid flow of hot water? Perhaps some kind of anti-scold mechanism? I know that my shower was hotter before installing this new faucet. In addition, I have a dual shower, I installed the same exact model in both locations and both of them only get warm, not hot.

Thanks Plumbers!

Thanks everyone. I found it! Page 6 of this document…

Most modern showers now have the antiscald device on them. This should have an adjustment, refer to your installation instructions for the exact method to adjust.
